2 WORSHIP MINISTRY On Sunday mornings FBG gathers in worship at 9:00 am and at 10:30 am. We call our early gathering Traditional because we re intentional about singing hymns and offering a more Traditional expression of worship. Our Praise Choir and Orchestra often sing/play during the Traditional worship gathering. We call our 10:30 am gathering Contemporary because we are led in worship by a praise team and engage in worship in a fresh way.

In Lifegroups we see the heart of living out the mission and vision that God has given His Church. We cannot do what God has called us to do alone. Jesus calls His people to live in community, doing life together, as we seek to share the gospel with our friends, neighbors, coworkers and city. A Life Group is a group of people centered around the Gospel (Community), seeking to take the Gospel to the coastal family (Mission). These groups will meet in homes, coffee shops, offices, the church campus,etc.and have a focus to exist not for themselves, but to constantly remember that Christians are called and sent. Understanding the why, what and who of community helps us focus on Jesus and other people. There is a Life Group for every Age and Stage of Life College Life Group Young Professionals Life Group Couples Life Groups Men s Life Groups Women s Life Groups If you are interested in leading or hosting a Life Group Contact Brian Dabbs, bddabbs@gmail.com Ministry Serving Opportunities 2

In our society, being a man is confusing. We will look at the Biblical call to be a real man as one who rejects passivity, accepts responsibility, leads courageously, and invests in eternity. In Proverbs 27:17 we are told, As Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Strong men help build up other strong men.
